Fantastic. Pace was good. I was walking with a cane less than 3 months after knee surgery so I was a bit worried that it would be too much but it was perfect. And the extremely pregnant woman in the group was fine too. The only thing I thought we were supposed to get was a museum visit as well but that wasn't on the tour at all. Anyway... very pleased to have visited the Acropolis.
It was really interesting and Angela was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
